Jessica’s opinion about Nightwing

the 'gruff-jerk exterior' description makes me wonder has DC changed Nightwing's characterization from smiling daredevil to batman-lite? I thought Dick would be more like superman when he interacted with other superheroes.

Edited: read the panels in the wrong order. she's talking about Simon.

I believe Jessica is talking about Simon in that particular panel.

Jessica is adorable lol I really want her to meet Nightwing

Can Batgirl get this costume in the main universe please?

Jessica’s opinion about Nightwing

I guess they're really running with Black Lightning as a younger guy if Jessica is open enough to him being her match.

Anyone else a fan of Go-Go Dancer Grayson? lmao

you are right. I read the panels in the wrong order

Yes, lmao. It was actually a great scene and caught me off guard, I shared it with some of my friends but... they seemed to want to talk around it, I can't blame them since they're not into comics. I actually only realized later, but Humphries has specifically been saying we'd see more Kid Delicious, and not Wallace, in this issue, and he really delivered on that, lol. I've seen a couple people excited on my Twitter timeline as well (and some that are not as happy, but you know, opinions).

It's weird but that scene made me really want a GTA/Yakuza/Persona-type Nightwing game with this as one of the mini-games or something, tbh. With all the casinos and the Justice Tree and everything kept in from the old Bludhaven, the city finally has enough of a unique feel that I think it could actually work as a setting for a video game now. It'd probably need to be fleshed out some more, but it's starting to get there.

Edit: Poor Jessica... I mean I don't blame Seeley or anything, but I mean Nightwing and Black Lightning and all the teasing now with Simon... it's just so weird knowing what Priest made her do in this issue and all the stuff with Barry in previous JL issues from Hitch... I mean, from a reader's perspective, spoilers:

you'd basically see her wanting to get matched with Nightwing, and then kissing Batman in JL, all on the same Wednesday. And that's paired with Bruce still being engaged and reuniting with Selina in Batman, too. Just all sorts weird.

I always love these silly moments when the writers decide to put it some random fanservice moments for fans lmao I mean his face looks hilarious I couldn't even take it seriously, which made the whole scene even funnier. But I've already seen a poor soul on Batman News being attacked for making a funny comment about it lol people are really easily offended by anything nowadays. Anyway I'm not 100% on board with the story yet but it's not bad and the art looks good. I guess Dick could have it worse. Also I'm on board with a Yakuza-type story, not sure about a game maybe as an Elseworlds story? It would be amazing

I agree with you about Jessica. spoilers:

She is really getting a horrible treatment lately, seriously the scene wasn't necessary at all. It was gross and disrespectful towards all involved people - Bruce, Jessica and Selina. She is treated like some kind of babe give her a break. Also Bruce is about to get married and here you are making him cheat on his future wife.

It kinda looks like Batgirl is wearing Ugg Boot house slippers.

[The Dying Detective]

I've been a fan of Powergirl and Supergirl pairings as well. Mainly Supergirl because of her Outsiders interactions with Dick. But what hurts me worst is that Dick doesn't have his SUPERFamily bestie like the rest of his family. You can't really say Clark because he very much so written as his Favorite Uncle and Fav Nephew not Best Friend. Which makes it all the more mind boggling why Dick hasn't cameo'd in Supersons yet!!! While the Kara & Dick being successors to the World's Greatest would ideally make them closer, it's better marketing to throw her with Batgirl.

If Power Girl will ever be fully incorporated into the main DC Universe I always thought she could be Dick's counterpart.

Dick was a stripper! My life is complete!

I hope you guys will share books like this with some of your younger family members and acquaintances! I know I will be, as it'll be books like the upcoming Mera that'll help grow the market and get new fans reading.
I'll pick up the Titans line for Picolo's art alone. It'll still probably be better written and more contemporary that Abnett's series. And I'd love to see more Dick as Robin stories. I feel as though there are too few modern stories with the Dynamic Duo.

If it is anything like the 2003 cartoon, I am definitely buying more than one.
